Rotation # 812
St. John’s -4.5 over UConn (win)
St. John’s gets a little good news as RJ Luis trends to return to the lineup. Rick Pitino has done a spectacular job turning the Red Strom around. St. John’s plays like the UConn teams of the past few seasons. The Huskies lack the killer edge that head coach Dan Hurley has brought the last few years. There is no doubt they will be a tough out in March, but the BIG East belongs to St. John’s. The Red Storm have one of the best defenses in the country and are a flawless 16-0 team at home. The Huskies cannot match the pace that RJ Luis, Kadary Richmond, Simeon Wilcher, and Deivon Smith play at guard. Zuby Ejiofor is a beast on the glass and should limit second-chance points. Take St. John’s.
